History
Software engineer Cheryl Demas founded WAHM in 1994 while herself a work at home mother. The site was initially targeted at stay-at-home mothers who had started home-based side businesses.
As telecommuting grew in popularity in corporate America, and later, as corporations tapped home-based workers as part of outsourcing efforts, WAHM's focus widened to include home-based workers of all types. This includes people with small home side businesses and telecommuters working from home for companies of all sizes.
WAHM was acquired by Internet Brands in 2008 .

Site Functionality
WAHM features a magazine-style layout with a large library of articles related to the work-at-home lifestyle. The site also features home-based job listings and a discussion forum .
Because home-based business scams have grown in popularity, a large portion of the content on WAHM is focused on scams and how to avoid them. WAHM's discussion forum is one of the places of the internet where readers can report work-at-home scams and read about them. The site founder Cheryl Demas sometimes goes undercover and then she reports the scams that she has discovered in this way.
